authoritively announced the great ia
vorite is to be dark moss green
trimmed with black. Black braiding
is placed either around the extreme
edge OF lupe or IN panels at each side
pointing up toward the waist. OF
course the black more vest is worn as
usual. Combination kid boots with
green cloth tops, lighter shade Of
green stockings, and tan Suede gloves
complete the walking outfit, with q
black felt hat and a. plume or dainty
green cape of velvet or felt or both
combined. Another color, more used
for house wear AS demi-toilet or SIM
ply visiting dress, is the so-callled
Bois de ose, a soft, ruddy brown like
the mellow shading of the autumn leaf.
Black is to be used to trim every
thing, and a great comfort it Will be to
small purses, for it allows black hat,
umbrella, gloves, and boots, and does
away with countless accessories as
necessities.
In some of the present house dresses,
broad-striped woolen materials are
neatly combined with plain colored
fabrics. In one, navy blue cameI's-
hair cloth composed the bas :ue and
drapery, the skirt, which was made
plain, being of red and blue striped
canvas cloth. This skirt was fully
visible upon the sides, whore the
draperies were looped to the hips, and
the stripes were run verti ally In
front. however, the long. gracefully
draped taller almost entirely con-
cealed it, the back draperies h ing
the same effect in the rear. The bas lue
was trimmed with cuffs having fine red
braid cmbroideries upon them, collar
and narrow revers of the same being
worn. The latter inclosed plated
white chemiSette Silvered metal but
tons were worn.
Dresses of white muslin, trimmed
with embroidery and pearl buttons,
with the occasional addition of lace,
are exceedingly popular, and for cool
ness cannot be surpassed. The sleeves
are usually left unlined, and in many
cases the sleeves, together with round
spaces on the throat and shoulders, are
OF lace. The latter fashion is not, how
ever, commendable for its good taste.
A tasteful trimming for round
straw hat may be formed by DRAWN 6 a
broad band of k-colored velvet
about the base of the crown. Over this
draw a band of cream-colored lace CT
exactly the same width. Ribbon Of
cream color. and of the same tint as
the velvet, should be made up in bows
or knots, which are then placed one
above another, upon the front, to the
height of tile crown. 4 wing, or a
spray of forget-me-not, marguerites, or
similar simple blossoms completes the
/ hat.
Heliotrope continues in favor for
millinery purposes, all the colors en-
ployed being of the moro delicate
shades, as BELTS the season. Charles
y. and :" English" pink remain in favor,
and the shades of green are partlcu-
larly varied and numerous.
Tall straw shapes axe most favored,
and, with sailor hats and some turbans,
almost monopoliZe the field of millin-
cry. The capote is, however, difficult
to vanquish and still remains fashiona-
bic, though these styles are not much
worn by young or unmarried ladies.
They seem to best suit matronly heads.
The variety of capote most used is q
helmet shape which comes to a sharp
point just above the center OF the fore
head.
